For starters, I am home for the summer. 10 months out of the year, I am living by myself in Tucson, going to school and working. But to save money on rent, I move back home for the summer. I am however taking two summer classes as well. Both are online [Obviously]. But, ever since my fall semester I asked for some help on a big paper I had. All I wanted was some proof reading. However, ever since then my Dad thinks he needs to be 100% involved in my coursework. Honestly, if I need help I will ask. It was fine when I was away this last spring, because I was away from him and the only way we would "study" was over Face-time. But he would demand the most inconvenient times. But now, now since I am back home he is always hounding me about school. I'm a hard worker, I study hard and work hard. I deeply care for my education. If I didn't I don't think I would be where I am right now.
I try telling my Dad that he doesn't need to be as involved [Nice way of saying fuck off] but he insists that he needs to help me. Honestly, if I need help I will ask.
He also wants me to do my notes a certain way, and I have to show him. And then he always finds issues with them and nit picks little things. I simply just have different ways of studying, taking notes and so on.
I appreciate my Dad cares, but I think he's a bit too involved. All I want is more independence.
Please, don't think I'm just some whiny millennial. Because like I have said before, I respect my parents and appreciate that they care. But there is a thing as caring too much and forcing your way into something you really aren't supposed to be involved in. [Kinda like Iraq] I'm Iraq, and my Dad is the U.S.
Anyways, I digress.
